MUSTANG MACH-E: LONG-TERM 2 YEAR REVIEW!

EV Channels Review

After two years and over 19,000 miles, the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E (AWD Standard Range Premium) remains a compelling, practical, and enjoyable electric vehicle. The reviewer highlights its smooth and satisfying driving dynamics, ample interior space, and impressive efficiency, particularly with favorable electricity rates. Key positives include the responsive acceleration, planted feel on the road (on smooth surfaces), and the utility of the hatchback and front trunk. Significant software updates have enhanced functionality, notably adding lane-change capability to BlueCruise and improving the infotainment system with a multi-function volume knob and better audio. However, the ownership experience is not without its drawbacks. The reviewer consistently points to the unrefined door access system (preferring traditional handles), the bouncy suspension over uneven roads, and the "squirmy" feel from the narrower tires. The infotainment system, while improved, is still considered basic and less fluid than competitors. The driver display is also criticized for its lack of information, particularly the inability to show real-time DC fast charging speeds. Service experiences have been mixed, with a perceived lack of dealer knowledge and responsiveness regarding software updates and minor repairs, leading to some lingering mysteries about the car's exact software status. Despite these criticisms, the Mach-E is deemed a great all-around vehicle that checks many boxes for performance, practicality, and efficiency, though further software refinement and dealer support would significantly enhance the ownership experience.
